Good luck tonight at Missouri! I had my doubts when the Hoiberg hire was made, but the guy can flat out coach and this team has been fun to watch, reminds me of the Johnny Orr & Tom Davis teams of the early 90's.

Re: ***Official: ISU @ Missouri game(day) thread***

It is interesting that they showed up at Columbia Thursday afternoon. This may help them concoct a better end of game strategy. Seems like the key matchup will be Denmon- DG. Hope SC shoots more tonight.

Re: ***Official: ISU @ Missouri game(day) thread***

They don't have a huge inside presence, no, but we have shown to struggle with anything more than an adequate inside presence.

As you said, the key will be handling the press. This is the best press we'll face all year (baring NCAA qualification) and on the road its all going to be on DG and who can step up to be a relief valve. We're gonna need a second ball handler or some solid decisions from JVB in the middle to break the press or they'll be able to flip the switch when they need it.

I'm very concerned that we don't have either to help break the press and that is a lot to put on one ball handler to break. I think this is the team that we match up worst with. Even with our softer underbelly inside.

Although we've shown to be able to break lesser pressing teams, this game, in my mind is a matchup nightmare. This one scares me every bit as much as the game at KU. Its much harder here to coach out of it. You either got it down or you don't. Keeping my fingers crossed, but am very worried about this one leaving a mark.

and in a "not so much here or here, but right there" kinda way. Still hoping I'm wrong.

Anything better than a 20pt loss with no injuries is not damning for me today. But I'll of course be rooting for much more. Good luck guys! Take care of business and bring it home for some home cookin'
